Partly how providers claim they don't provide any info: ### To help secure an insider advantage, GCHQ also established a Humint Operations Team (HOT). Humint, short for "human intelligence" refers to information gleaned directly from sources or undercover agents. This GCHQ team was, according to an internal document, "responsible for identifying, recruiting and running covert agents in the global telecommunications industry." ### Moles or not, bets on when massive lawsuits will start to be filed against these companies for breach of contract, etc? (or links to current suits?)

there was the "Athens Affair", aka "Greek wiretapping case 2004–05" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_wiretapping_case_2004%E2%80%9305 """ December 2006 Vodafone Greece was fined €76 million by the Communications Privacy Protection Authority, a Greek privacy watchdog group, for the illegal wiretapping of 106 cellphones. The fine were calculated as €500,000 for each phone that was eavesdropped on, as well as a €15 million fine for impeding their investigation. October 19, 2007, Vodafone Greece was again fined €19 million by EETT, the national telecommunications regulator, for alleged breach of privacy rules. """ gotta find them, and have proof first...
